Drought in the Horn of Africa

Farmers in Somalia say that they have not had rain for nearly two years. The whole region has been hit by a drought, the like of which has not been seen for 60 years. Four regions in Somalia have been declared as in a state famine. Thousands have fled their homes—and their decimated livelihoods—in Somalia, either seeking refuge in population centres such as Mogadishu, or crossing the border to Kenya and Ethiopia.
